So instead, she&#x27;s been using the money she has been making to help those, like them, living in the streets. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2020/entertainment/07/04/kapamilya.jpg"/><figcaption>Ruette Remegio is an events organizer, a printing business owner, but most importantly an outreach volunteer who helps her fellow homeless. <em>&#x27;Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan.&#x27; </em></figcaption></figure></div><p>Having been homeless herself for the majority her life, Remegio, more than most, understands the lives of those she now cares for. </p><p>And it is this admirable show of selflessness that was the focus of the newest episode of &quot;Paano Kita Pasasalamatan,&quot; which aired Saturday on the Kapamilya Channel, iWant, and the ABS-CBN Facebook page. </p><p>It told the story of Remegio: How she grew up homeless with her family in Luneta; how she turned their life around; how she helps their fellow poor and other struggling artists; and how she once found herself facing a P2 million debt because of her mom&#x27;s hospitalization. </p><p>It also showed how a former Binibining Pilipinas candidate paid for their hospital bills, how Remegio saved the life of a stand-up by giving him a badly needed break; and how that particular stand-up returned the favor via giving a bullied little person a home. </p><p>You can watch the full episode below: </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ygy2stbqbuI?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Replays of the episodes of &quot;Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan&quot; can also be viewed on iWant and TFC. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/13/20/paano-kita-mapasasalamatan-how-iza-calzado-thanked-her-house-help-for-staying-despite-virus-diagnosis">READ: ‘Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan’: How Iza Calzado thanked her house help for staying despite virus diagnosis</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/20/20/paano-kita-mapasasalamatan-show-highlights-delivery-guy-who-helped-the-hungry-during-lockdown">READ: ‘Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan’: Show highlights delivery guy who helped the hungry during lockdown</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/27/20/paano-kita-mapasasalamatan-meet-the-person-who-saved-kim-chiu">READ: ‘Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan’: Meet the person who ‘saved’ Kim Chiu</a></li></ul>
